A supercharged version of the 4.5-litre Bentley, Birkin's Blower gained immortality when it reached 137.96mph at the testing ground in 1932, and now Christopher Ward has created a watch containing a piece of the car's piston.

Just 90 of the C8 Birkin's Blower TMB Limited Edition will be made, and is available to pre-order for early October for £2495 – a price tag that pales in comparison to the £5,042,000 that the Blower fetched at auction in 2012.
